Dr. T. Colin Campbell: Keeping Plant-Based Nutrition Whole for Optimal Health

What if we could break the cycle of disease and premature death just by changing what we eat? Dr. T. Colin Campbell believes it really is that simple. After decades of studying nutrition's effects on health and disease, Dr. Campbell is convinced that eating plants in as close to their whole, unrefined forms as possible is the best thing we can do to support optimal health. In fact, he's the one who coined the term "whole food plant-based diet!" Since first discovering the correlations between plant-based diets and disease reduction, Dr. Campbell has written several books, inclding The China Study , Whole and The Future of Nutrition . He has also appeared in several documentary films, including Forks Over Knives, Eating You Alive, Food Matters , and PlantPure Nation and has delivered hundreds of evidence-based nutrition lectures around the world. In the final episode of Season 1 of The Modern Health Nerd Podcast, we discuss: How the common reductionist approach in nutrition and healthcare supports a system designed to make money instead of create health How the current food system negatively impacts health, vulnerable populations and the environment The research that changed Dr. Campbell's mind about animal protein's role in health Dr. Campell's thoughts on the growth of the plant-based and alternative protein movement Why eating whole, unrefined plant foods is more powerful than focusing on single nutrients Why a holistic view is important when interpreting nutrition research results Why policy change, particularly relating to dietary guidelines, is necessary to shift the food system toward one that supports health The need for better public nutrition knowledge and civil debates between proponents of differing opinions Hungry for plant-based nerdity and industry insights?
